Constrained multitrack RLL codes for the storage channel
Jongho Lee, Vijay Krishna Madisetti · IEEE Transactions on Magnetics · 1995
Multitrack codes that have recently been proposed for the magnetic storage channel promise larger capacities than conventional run-length limited (RLL) single-track codes. We propose two additional constraints that allow the design of efficient multitrack RLL codes, while incorporating more tolerance to timing and synchronization failures. The effect on the capacity is minimal.>
